| Summary | 0002095: Not installing now but did before | ||||
| Description | I installed Openfoam on my laptop, it was and still is working fine. I have currently acquired a new desktop and tried the exact same installation as before but now Openfoam has not installed any folders passed the run folder and the tutorials are missing. http://openfoam.org/download/3-0-1-ubuntu/ This is the link I have used to install the software each time following the commands. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
Are you 100% certain that the new desktop has Ubuntu 15.10? Instructions on how to check which Ubuntu version is installed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckingYourUbuntuVersion |
|
|
Yes I am running it as a virtual machine in the same way I did on my laptop |
|
|
I believe I've spotted the issue, although I haven't tested this myself yet... The problem is the link that is currently broken, namely this one: http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu |
|
|
Something else is amiss, because I tested indirectly the link and it seems to be working as intended. @Sam85: Can you please let us know if there is anything installed in the folder "/opt/openfoam30"? In addition, can you please provide the output from this command: sudo apt-get install openfoam30 |

This is an error I have received when trying to re-install |

Hi Sam85, I've tested just now in a VM with Ubuntu 15.10 and it worked without any problems. But... Remember when I asked you this question? > Are you 100% certain that the new desktop has Ubuntu 15.10? Well, according to the output you've provided, you have "Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus" installed. Maybe you clicked on the "upgrade to 16.04" button after installing Ubuntu 15.10 inside the virtual machine? Because, and unfortunately, this version of Ubuntu is not yet supported through OpenFOAM Deb packages, but it will be supported in the next version of OpenFOAM, as stated on the first comment here: http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2070 In the meantime, you can either (re-)install Ubuntu 15.10 inside a virtual machine or you can build OpenFOAM 3.0.x from source code, by following either one of the following instructions: - http://openfoam.org/download/source/ - these are the official instructions for building/installing OpenFOAM 3.0.x and dev. - http://openfoam.org/download/3-0-1-source/ - these are for building/installing OpenFOAM 3.0.1 from source code. - http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-3.0.1/Ubuntu#Ubuntu_16.04 - these are community written instructions, which are detailed and specific for 3.0.1. If you have problems installing OpenFOAM through Deb packages on Ubuntu 15.10, please free to re-open this bug report! In the meantime, I'll close this report for the time being. Best regards, Bruno |

Hi Yes I know that it looks now like 16.04 was causing problems all along but unfortunately that is not the case. I reinstalled Ubuntu on my VMWare Workstation and tried the upgraded version to see if it would make a difference but it didn't. The initial issue was with 15.10 and still remains. When I add this command mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN it does not work unless I close terminal and input again, then there are no sub folders after run (no tutorial folders) so when I try this command it does not find the folder. cd $FOAM_RUN cp -r $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily Thanks Sam |

Hi Sam, Mmm... OK, if you now have Ubuntu 15.10 working in the VM, then please provide the following details: 1. What do the following command lines give you? sudo add-apt-repository http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openfoam30 2. Does the following command give any output? And if it does, what is it? ls -l /opt/openfoam30/ 3. If by any chance the previous command gave any output, then what do the following command lines give you? source /opt/openfoam30/etc/bashrc echo $FOAM_RUN I ask these questions because I'm not able to reproduce the same error. Therefore, I need to somehow see/access what you're experiencing on your VM. Best regards, Bruno |

Hi Bruno, I have copied all the outcomes of the commands in terminal in the text below, I still have nothing in my run folder (tutorials are missing).

Hi Sam, The good news is that OpenFOAM is indeed installed with success! Make sure you have followed the instructions given in section "User Configuration" to finish the installation steps: http://openfoam.org/download/3-0-1-ubuntu/#user-configuration Then please follow the instructions given in the section "Getting Started": http://openfoam.org/download/3-0-1-ubuntu/#getting-started Best regards, Bruno |

Hi Bruno, That is good that it has installed, how do I locate the tutorial folder? As I said before I have followed the instructions and installed the software previously on my laptop with no problems, however this time after installing openfoam on my desktop I can not locate the tutorial files the run folder is empty? Best regards Sam sam@ubuntu:~$ cd $FOAM_RUN sam@ubuntu:~/OpenFOAM/sam-3.0.1/run$ cp -r $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily cp: missing destination file operand after ‘/home/sam/OpenFOAM/sam-3.0.1/run/tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily’ Try 'cp --help' for more information. sam@ubuntu:~/OpenFOAM/sam-3.0.1/run$ |

Hi Sam, Sorry, I didn't notice the bug that is written in the section "Getting Started". The correct copy command is this: cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily . Notice that there is a dot at the end. The bug is that it is stating "$FOAM_RUN/tutorials" when it should be "$FOAM_TUTORIALS". In addition to this, the introductory part of chapter 2 has the details needed for making a full copy of the "tutorials" folder: http://cfd.direct/openfoam/user-guide/tutorials/#x4-30002 I'll give a heads-up to Chris, the maintainer of the website, regarding this bug/typo. Best regards, Bruno |

Hi Bruno, Thank you I have run a simulation and it is all working fine now, the tutorial folders are there. Many Thanks Sam |

Fixed the error in "Getting Started" across all download/installation pages. |
